New Processor for my PC

bushtucka · Mar 30, 2018

Hey everyone,

Currently I have a rubbish Core 2 Duo e4700 on a Gigabyte G41M-ES2L LGA 775 Motherboard.

I want to get a new processor and found this thing after a bit o' research.

https://www.ebay.com.au/p/Intel-Xeon-X5460-3-16GHz-Quad-Core-EU80574KJ087N-Processor/74093793?iid=282594396138&_trkparms=aid%3D222007%26algo%3DSIM.MBE%26ao%3D2%26asc%3D20140106155344%26meid%3D1a06e62254ce415291bd8cb95da8349d%26pid%3D100005%26rk%3D4%26rkt%3D6%26mehot%3Dag%26sd%3D132086476891%26itm%3D282594396138&_trksid=p2047675.c100005.m1851

Is it good or should I get a q9650? Cheers!

q9650

the Xeons may not run in consumer boards. I think that was only available in sandy bridge to haswell chips.

MERGED QUESTION
Question from bushtucka : "New Processor for my PC"

Hey everyone again,

For some reason I couldn't reply for some reason on my previous thread so I had to make a new one :/

Anyway, as I said before I had a Core 2 duo e4700 on my Gigabyte G41m-ES2L LGA 775 Motherboard.

I couldn't get the Xeon, but the Q9650. I'm still a bit hesitant so I'd like to know if there's anything better than a Q9650 that I can put in my motherboard.

Thanks!

the 9650 should work

Seller seems reputable, although I've never seen people mod the xeon generally people mod the motherboard. Using the xeon you have a lot more unknowns being that its a modded CPU that was never actually supposed to be used in your motherboard, but quite a lot of people do it.

a Q9650 or 9550 is a much safer bet, and you probably won't see any difference real between the xeon vs the Q9---.
